Sorry about it! What I refer to is commit eb085574a752 ("mm, swap: fix race between
swapoff and some swap operations"). And I think this commit does not fix the race
condition completely, so I reuse the Fixes tag inside it.

I tried to remove several get/put_swap_device() for function called
by do_swap_page() only before I send this series. But it seems they have
other callers without proper get/put_swap_device().
